...but how this damn FFP is damaging us so much, whereas other clubs supposed to be in similar troubles seem to go pretty fine...?

Because other clubs didn’t have to write off Quarter of a Billion £’s of Debt (before FFP fine) on gates of less than 18k whilst the club pocketed bucket loads of Prem cash and gambled it, then let it ride then chased their loses......

Is that not the point, the debt was written off. FFP was supposedly introduced to stop owners inflicting debt onto clubs and jeopardising their existence. Our owners wrote off the debt. FFP did its job in our case in protecting the club so why the fine. FFP was introduced in reality to make sure clubs like ours know their place.

Saturday 9th November 1968: QPR V Burnley in the First Division - I saw the Hoops for the first time and my obsession began!

I cant believe they've done it on purpose to keep small clubs small
I think the people who run the sport are just plonkers, they've made an ill judged plan and stuck to it through thick and thin. A bit of democracy in the game wouldn't go amiss. It's the same with cricket, must be a sport thing...

They have been desperate to have a divide between big clubs and the others since before the invention of the Premier league!

I don't think they wanted it but they are frightened of the big clubs. My guess is FFP was introduced to pacify the top clubs in Europe, we know who they are, to stop them breaking away from FIFA. Nobody who wanted to protect clubs getting into debt would have introduced FFP as it is now. Why not simply rule that any money put in by owners is an investment not a loan. Why have a market value check on sponsorship. They want to keep the status quo it cannot be denied.
